A handful of people can go by just one name. Yes, nowadays, it’s more common (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Cher, the list goes on and on), but it was not as common back in the 60s and 70s. And regarding “the king”, many think of the name Elvis without even having to say his last name, Presley….

I remember a period when this film was one of the most recommended films by many movie people I talked about movies with. That was the mid to late 2000s when Peter Dinklage was virtually unknown, same with Bobby Cannavale, and Tom McCarthy was still mostly an actor rather than the Oscar-winning writer and great director he is today (for…

As hinted at in my review for season four (here), the fifth season is where I started to see the slow decline of 24. And not because of any one thing; it was more about the accumulation of several things, like killing off a couple of favourite characters right at the beginning of the season to…

I remember the first time I watched a trailer for The Lost City, and that was all it took to hook me in.

But it recently popped up on one of the streaming services I pay for (Amazon Prime), and I thought, why not; I…

When I first became aware of this film, I was excited. Not many actors have garnered a reputation as unique as Nicolas Cage; it doesn’t matter if you love or hate him, the word that best describes him is truly “unique”. So it made sense for him to go even more meta than in Adaptation. (2002, my review here)…
Due to a variety of things (holidays, buying my first flat etc.), it took me a while to get around to this show. And since I came to this show slightly later, I have heard some things about it, mostly how average it is and about MCU continuing its downward spiral. Well, I am either…

Saving Mr. Banks is one of the prime examples of the golden rule that states: “You don’t take your historical facts from a movie.” No matter whether it’s “inspired by true events” or “based on true events”, there will always be something that has been processed, cut, excluded or overblown for the sake of “movie magic”….
